  <DD><CODE>prebuf</CODE> turns on prebuffering. Prebuffering is a feature
    of the em8300 chip that enables it to hold more than one frame of video at
    a time. This means that when you are running with prebuffering
    MPlayer will try to keep the video buffer filled with data at all
    times. If you are on a slow machine MPlayer will probably use close
    to, or precisely 100% of CPU. This is especially common if you play pure MPEG

    digital audio output of the card. See the <CODE>-ao oss</CODE> option
    above, it must be used to specify the DXR3's output instead of
    a soundcard. Also read <A HREF="codecs.html#hardware_ac3">hardware AC3</A>
    section for further information on AC3.</DD>

<H4>Overlay</H4>

<P>To get overlay run dxr3view that comes with the em8300 package before
  starting MPlayer. You can set various options in dxr3view by pressing
  <CODE>T</CODE> while holding the mouse cursor above the window. Activating
  rectangle mode seems to work for alot of people.</P>

<P>In some instances, subtitles may not appear properly in sync with the A/V
  stream when using hardware decoding. This is a known bug. The em8300 will

<H4>Usage:</H4>

  <DT><CODE>-vo dxr3:prebuf:sync:&lt;device&gt;</CODE></DT>
  <DD><CODE>overlay</CODE> activates the overlay instead of TVOut. It requires
    that you have a properly configured overlay setup to work right. The easiest
    way to configure the overlay is to first run autocal. Then run mplayer with
    dxr3 output and without overlay turned on, run dxr3view. In dxr3view you can
    tweak the overlay settings and see the effects in realtime, perhaps this
    feature will be supported by the MPlayer GUI in the future. When overlay is
    properly set up you will no longer need to use dxr3view.<BR>
